New York's loss is New Jersey's gain, as the Depository Trust amp; Clearing Corporation reveals plans to relocate 1,600 members of its 2,300-member staff to 415,000 square feet of space at the Newport Office Center in Jersey City. It's not a total defeat for New York, however; DTCC will keep its headquarters and its remaining 700 employees in Lower Manhattan. pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/k5IljI36B4VC0OobO0dWYGaH4aA/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/k5IljI36B4VC0OobO0dWYGaH4aA/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/k5IljI36B4VC0OobO0dWYGaH4aA/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/k5IljI36B4VC0OobO0dWYGaH4aA/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/p

The frozen credit market and shattered economy have caused the interruption or outright cancellation of development project after development project across the country, but such is not the case for an unlikely 1.8 million-square-foot mixed-use endeavor in Plymouth, Mass., about 40 miles south of Boston. Having just secured the Plymouth Planning Board's approval of a master site plan, developers of Plymouth Rock Studios can now proceed with on- and off-site activities for the fully funded, $500 million film and television studio compound. pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mz4IhHKS3uflZVGW3gTO33RgzH0/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mz4IhHKS3uflZVGW3gTO33RgzH0/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mz4IhHKS3uflZVGW3gTO33RgzH0/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mz4IhHKS3uflZVGW3gTO33RgzH0/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/p

It's an office trade of such a size that has not been seen in Connecticut, no less challenged by job losses and economic malaise than most other markets, in quite a while. Matrix Connecticut L.L.C. has just taken over ownership of the 1 million-square-foot Danbury Corporate Center in Danbury, Conn., from GERA Danbury L.L.C. in a $72.4 million merger transaction. The deal is a coup for Connecticut, as well as its neighbors, as it marks the largest multi-tenant office transaction in the suburban New York Tri-State area so far this year. pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QyCIdYGZ13l9aDbPcC7IomRBaGM/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QyCIdYGZ13l9aDbPcC7IomRBaGM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QyCIdYGZ13l9aDbPcC7IomRBaGM/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QyCIdYGZ13l9aDbPcC7IomRBaGM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/p

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed green legislation over the weekend, as covered by CPE on Monday, but also nestled in the raft of bills that he signed were major overhauls of the rules governing residential mortgages. The thrust of the reforms was to help prevent some of the mortgage origination abuses that were rampant in the mid-2000s, and which did their part to inflate the housing bubble. pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/uQ-yzx6dnlLskpdv-yHg-zHYgcs/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/uQ-yzx6dnlLskpdv-yHg-zHYgcs/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/uQ-yzx6dnlLskpdv-yHg-zHYgcs/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/uQ-yzx6dnlLskpdv-yHg-zHYgcs/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/p
